The Trouble with Being Born
Description :
&#8220A love of Cioran creates an urge to press his writing into
someone&#8217s hand, and is followed by an equal urge to pull it
away as poison.&#8221&#8212The New YorkerIn this volume,
which reaffirms the uncompromising brilliance of his mind, Cioran

strips the human condition down to its most basic components, birth
and death, suggesting that disaster lies not in the prospect of death
but in the fact of birth, &quotthat laughable accident.&quot In the
lucid, aphoristic style that characterizes his work, Cioran writes of
time and death, God and religion, suicide and suffering, and the
temptation to silence. Through sharp observation and patient
contemplation, Cioran cuts to the heart of the human
experience.&#8220In the company of Nietzsche and
Kierkegaard.&quot&#8212Publishers Weekly&quotNo modern writer
twists the knife with Cioran's dexterity. . . . His writing . . . is
informed with the bitterness of genuine
compassion.&quot&#8212Boston Phoenix
